Try Avid bearings. Cheap price, and some people say they last longer than Traxxas ones. There is even a kit you ca nbuy that replaces all the bearings in you truck. You can pick which ones you want to get normal, cearamic, or steel. Here is the link. http://www.avidrc.com/flexkit/?kit=3...+%28%235608%29 Hope this helps!

Hi, I've had three bearing go on me in four months. I've come round to the idea of following others advice on re greasing them every once in a while. Craig's threads got some good advice. Totally broke mine down as latest ones to go we're in the rear diff.

As for ceramics I think 50togo had a couple of issues with acer ones others had no probs.

However, ceramics will give better rolling resistance that steel so should make truck run better. I've found a site through ebay, that does steel rubber bearing at decent price and from Hong Kong, so pretty close to you. They do packs of ten's for a few £.

Ceramics are great, but they can be fragile. They don't take well to really hard impacts. If I'm correct, I think 50togo had some ceramics blow up in his mini E-Revo. He was using a different brand, but you never know.

That was with acer ceramics but the small pinion gear in front and rear. All the others held up even the ceramics in my neu 1110 1/y but acer stood behind them and gave me a full refund. Then I bought the (in my opinion)better boca yellow seal ceramics. Real smooth and lubed for life no maintenance!
